Rose Tapas is a hidden gem in the heart of Boston, offering an experience that goes beyond just dining. The atmosphere is a stunning blend of warmth and artistry, with visual displays that feel like a feast for the eyes. The rich, inviting colors, ambient lighting, and thoughtfully curated decor create a vibe that's both cozy and sophisticated. The music perfectly complements the space, striking a balance between lively and relaxing, making it the perfect spot to escape for a moment or to host a party We stopped in for a drink while waiting for traffic to ease during a winter storm--not that it helped with the traffic, but the charm of Rose Tapas made it worth the detour. On a whim, we ordered the chicken croquettes to-go, and they did not disappoint. With their delightful flavor and satisfying texture, they made for the perfect snack on the road. Whether you're looking for a cozy drink, a quick bite, or a full meal, Rose Tapas is well worth a visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Rose Tapas was a quick stop for me. I was not expecting at all what I was walking into. It was kind of dead due to the snow outside. I enjoyed myself though. The vibe and music is good. They have DJs every other day. I ordered a Red Pill- Blue Pill drink. My partner ordered the Rose Espresso.

Food: The Asian wings were my favorite, tender and flavor with a little kick to it. The bacon wrapped plantains were a bit undercooked, the plantains were stiff and the cheese was not melted inside. The calamari was crusted perfectly and good amount of chew but there was no Peppers as suggested in the menu. I got the seafood rice which is more like a risotto, but it was flavored well and seafood was cooked good. The sangria were so good, fruity and refreshing Service: The service was a bit all over the place, there's 3 doors to get inside but the host is at one which you wouldn't know unless you walked around. There is open available seats for walk-ins but you can make reservations too. We sit down and no one serves for about 20 min, several people to ask if we got help and we kept telling them no we're waiting for our server and finally someone came to assist. Our server was nice, got everything we needed but forgot to present the birthday dessert as stated in our note for reservation Ambiance: It's a fun vibe with modern design, has lots of lights and floral colors. Latin inspired music and loud but it can be a nice spot to enjoy a birthday or at the bar. Location accommodation: There's limited parking but there some at the front and around the neighboring buildings. It can get congested as the roads are narrow so be careful when navigating

Spent a day in Boston and made reservations here and it was so delicious. The food was flavorful and perfect spot tapas. The ambience was aesthetically pleasing too it's very cute The only thing I didn't care for is the parking situation you have to find parking on a side street wish they had a lot

I think this is a 3.5- but we came very soon after they opened so I may update as we return. First, the decor is fun and vibey and moody, trying a little too hard, but still fun. Right off the bat, nothing had prices. We have no problem splurging on food, but do like to know what we are in for. We asked the server and she said, "oh, they just want it to seem like, fancy, but everything is between like $8 and $12". I had a little bit of a chuckle (again, trying too hard?), but those prices seemed actually great, so we were optimistic-- this is in the old Jevelis location, in a working class neighborhood-- they would do well to have yummy but affordable food in this neighborhood! Anyway, we ordered a bunch. The calamari was one of the top dishes, but my favorite was actually the Spanish tortilla! The potato, oniony goodness was such good comfort food! Everything was good, not all amazing, but for $8-12/ plate, no complaints!! The only non-tapas option we got was the penne with vodka sauce. It was good!! Lots of onions. In a good way. Our drinks were pretty good. The menu read a bit more complex than the taste, but that's ok. Good selection overall and some interesting options. And the crème brûlée was so good!! I will say, when we got the check, it was definitely more than quoted per tapas/drink. Which is fine, but... just list your prices. You're in an old divey space in East Boston. It's not that deep. Not enough to upset ME, but that could def make or break reviews for some people. We sat in the dining area but I def want to go back and sit at the bar. It looked like a really cool space! We'll be back. Hopefully some of the pretenses and kinks have worked out since they opened.

First and foremost, the aesthetics of this restaurant are beautiful. All of the staff members are engaging and work together as a team. They are friendly and explain everything to the best of their ability, or they ask for help if they don't know something themselves. The food was delicious, and I will definitely be back at some point for tapas and that last drink with the white foam and blue flower on top! However, I would like to mention that the service was slightly slow but quick. Let me break this down a bit. When we entered, we were greeted and promptly seated. Within a minute, water was already being poured for us. The waiter came over and asked if we wanted our usual orders. My best friend ordered everything at once, while I decided to order my drink and appetizer because they didn't have salmon, and I wasn't sure what I wanted on top of the limited six entree options. After approximately 10 minutes of chatting, our tapas were served. Two minutes later, my friend's entree arrived, but we still hadn't received our drinks. It's worth noting that I hadn't even ordered my entree yet. We appreciate fast service, but this was a little too fast. Overall, we had a good time! The music and atmosphere were both great. P.S. If you allow someone to walk in and make a reservation, it would be helpful to call them when the table is ready.

This is a new tapas restaurant that opened in the old Jeveli's location. The restaurant's decore is modern, with beautiful art and flowers on the wall. They did a great job with the renovations. My wife and I ordered several tapas, a dish from the 'memory lane' (pasta) and a dessert. And some drinks. I'll start with the issues. The first thing I noticed is that the menu doesn't include any prices - which is pretty off-putting since we don't know what the portion-sizes look like or how to budget for it. If you're opening in a working class neighborhood like East Boston, it feels tone deaf. There are fancier restaurants nearby (like MIDA) that don't do this. We asked the waitress what the prices were and she was happy to give us a ballpark estimate - which eases our nerves. I got the feeling she was asked this question a *lot*. All our cocktails were $18, by the way. The food was much cheaper. As well, I felt the ceviche was lacking acid and salt. Definitely one of the weaker ceviches I've had in recent memory. And the chicken vodka was just okay - boxed pasta comfort food. There's definitely easy ways to elevate the dishes at low cost. For the good, we thought the tortilla with the smoked chile and gambas were excellent. The calamari was good - lightly breaded and the fried banana peppers were lovely. I really enjoyed my cocktails. Despite the high prices, they were certainly meeting the higher expectations. It's worth the cost. Branded ice, thoughtful garnish, well balanced and unique. As well, we had *excellent* service. Everyone we interacted with was warm, inviting and kind. Food and drinks came out at an ideal pace. Bravo! For a more "lounge"-type bar, I was also delighted with the music choice (mostly disco-house and chill drum n bass) - and it was at a reasonable volume where I can still enjoy conversations. Overall, Rose is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their specialty cocktails. I think if they tighten up some of the dishes, they'll be a decades-long success.
